CRONOS (African Saturn)

Let's talk about Saturn, the passing of time

Of gods who eat their children alive


Let's talk about Nigeria—

About the gods

who eat their children alive


Time has passed 

But nothing changed

People died

But nothing changed


Let's talk about Nigeria

And the gods

who eat her children alive


Zeus was a king like no other

Daring his father to save his brothers

O Kronos, the great Saturn, 

He ate his children alive


Even if we had a Zeus to save us

We can't bring back those who died

Poseidon and Hades 

came back to rule

But we can't bring back to life

all those who died


Let's talk about Saturn 

the passing of time

And of the gods

who eat their children alive...


Vain is it to trust in human leaders,

I'll rather trust my God for life.

MARY HAD SOME LITTLE WORDS

On this special day, I wanted to take a moment to send you my warmest birthday wishes.

HAVEN'T FOUND THE ANSWER YET

I searched the four corners of the wind I listened hard, I heard the birds sing I saw them take to flight and fly free I saw power in their wholesome wings  I went deep down the ocean depths  The primordial power of the earth I felt  Was ever so majestic the deeper I went Words fail to capture the essence  I climbed the mountains of the highest peaks Caught the sunrise on the tallest trees Saw so much beauty that I couldn't breathe Saw greatness that made my heart to freeze  In high spirits, but my energy spent  Still seeking answers, but I couldn't make a dent I searched the secrets of the seven seas I was put to bed by the gentle breeze  It doesn't matter if I spend my last cent   These answers are worth more per every cent  Yet on my strength I can't depend  To the grace of God, I must defer For in the fire, I found no answer In the earthquake, I heard no response  In the thunder, there was no reply  But in the g...
